Well isn't it AMAZING what a difference a week in football makes????
I'm pissed off with some of these moron posters who only seem to come out of the woodwork after Essendon have a loss!!
After the carlton game people were claiming we 're back, it was a great team effort where our game plan worked and we had plenty of space for our speedsters to run far and wide at the M.C.G. not many negative posts has there been After our last 2 wins. Until last night after we came up against a very Desperate Kangaroo out fit who have had a big couple of weeks. They came out with an OBVIOUS game plan to shut us down and squeeze the life out of us on the smaller ground.
DOES ANYONE PAY CREDIT TO THERE GAMEPLAN TO BEAT US, THEY SIMPLY DID EVERYTHING TO SHUT DOWN OUR STRENGHTS IE. SPEED AND RUN!!
It wasn't until 3 quater time when Knights released everyone and demanded we inject speed int our last Quater effort whic if we had of Kicked straight would of worked!! ect. ect. everyone knows the rest.
Then its time for all the negative Posters come out to play???
Put your hand up if you think i'ts one of the worst Essendon performances you've ever seen?? some wa#kers have said that!
We are a young side and at time are gonna be intimidated by bulk and strength so of course we are gonna lose some games we maybe could have won
WOULD YOU RATHER FOLLOW RICHMOND AND HAVE ALL YOUR PLAYERS DROP THERE HEADS WHEN THINGS START GOING BAD?????
One thing is forshore I bet we come out and have a fairdinkum crack this week and I'm confident we can nearly win.

The only thing that concerns me is that teams would have taken note of Laidleys game plan and will be trying it on us every game from now on.

Be prepared for some low scoring slug fests in the weeks to come until we can work our way through it.

The key is to get in front early and make the opposition team abandon their plan in order for them to score to overtake us.

If we fall behind early in the game though be prepared for many uber floods as teams know that they need to stop our speed and run.

Will be a good thing though for the team to get through and we will come out better in the long run.
 
As Hulk Hogan said, if we had kicked straight we should have won.

The Kangaroos did everything they could and it just came off. With more players due to come back from injury, it's going to take a very committed, very skilled side to beat us playing that type of gameplan.

Another positive is that Essendon again kept a side well under 100 points.

There are still some changes to be made though...
 
it's an endless cycle. we win, there's threads saying how good we are, then threads saying not to get ahead of ourselves, we lose, there's threads saying how crap we are, then there's threads like these saying we have to stop being so negative, we start to win again, positive threads again, ect. it's not too surprising though, we keep up with current events surrounding essendon and right now we've just come off a loss. pretty much you can always expect people online to over react. it's just that negative over reactions are worse to read than positive over reactions.
 
What is amazing is your poor grammer.
When we win we do talk about the positives more, so of course when we lose (and lose badly) then we will talk about where we need to improve. Most of the posters talking about this would of posted the week before. The only new one 'jumping on the board after a loss' seems to be you.
 
The part that i find unbelievable is that people continue to argue/discuss with these clowns.

Kelvin is a classic example and all he wants to do is create controversy.

These type of posters sit at home and piss themselves laughing as people continue to argue points with them, while they ignore the answers and continue with their diatribe.

They have little to no modern day football knowledge and if people ignore them they will slowly fade away.

Kelvin is Essendon's answer to parrot except for one big difference.

parrot trolls opposition posters :cool:

Grammar.

"about this would have posted the week before" .... ;)

Yes, but that's just cheap pedantry that misses the point.

The OP had such staggeringly bad grammar and punctuation it's hardly fair to equate the two. A mistake here or there is forgivable on a forum, but the OP was quite simply an assault on the eyes.

Edit: I promised I wouldn't bother when I read the title of this thread originally, but now that I've posted here (and on a topic closely realted too) what the hell. What does "unbeliveable" mean? Is it somewhere where you can't be-live? I just live normally, but I'm interested in this notion of "beliving". I'd hate to be somewhere so unbeliveable that it was compounded by being "Absolutely unbeliveable!!!!!!!!!!".

Me too.

That would be impossible though. Once it's unbeliveable that's all there is to it. It simply couldn't be 'absolutely unbeliveable'. That's a tautology...
in fact, it's a hyperbolic tautology :D

Such a nerd, I know :(

Well, technically if you wanted to refer to somewhere uninhabitable it would be "unlivable" minus the 'e' in there that Hulk had. So if you wanted to refer to a place where you couldn't "be-live", it would be unbelivable. But any joke taking the 'e' into account was untenable. Where could you go with that? Unbeliveable; somewhere that you cannot "be" (occupy spatially) and also have a "live" (a musicians term for a gig) simultaneously. I got nothing.

However, while 'absolutely unbeliveable' may be redundant, I'll give The Hulk the benifit of the doubt and just say he was being poetic and taking a few liberties with language. By using the adverb absolutely to enhance the adjective unbelievable, he was simply trying to give the reader a visual image of just how inhospitable the place he was refering to was. Sort of like saying Richmond are the worst team in the league, but Fremantle, well they are the absolute worst in the league. :p Unneccessary repetition, but it just drives the point home for the recipient. (especially in the Fremantle case)

Absolutely agree re pedanticism in forums and I've no doubt I've done it myself. This was merely a little light-heartedness I couldn't resist (hence the smiley). A post that's starts criticizing another's grammar, yet has his own grammar and spelling mistakes - come on, you can see the irony :o

I think the skill level was down a fair bit by both sides largely due to the amount of pressure put on, there were almost 140 tackles for the game which is quite high for modern footy and more like how footy was played 10-20 years ago.

In the end I think the Bombers were a bit wasteful with the delivery inside 50, a lot of the balls going inside 50 either didn't make it to the leading forward on the full or were kicked too deep, that probably has a lot to do with being under pressure and not given time to dispose of the ball.

Will other sides do similar? Probably teams like Crows, Saints, Swans and Geelong but most sides I don't think prefer playing that kind of footy or have the players to play that kind of footy. We played with 6 inside midfielders last week, most sides are lucky to have more than one half decent one.

Yeah, I wasn't being serious either. :p

Just pointing out that you shouldn't enjoy the irony too much as the degrees of mistakes weren't comparable.

Yeah I think I agree with you on the idea of creative freedom Enki. Hulk should be given the benefit of the doubt. His extensive use of exclamation marks sold me. He seems convinced about how unbeliveable the attitudes of some posters are. Those attitudes simply shouldn't exist at our club. He obviously f****** loves this f****** club. God damn it, he's convinced me. I f****** love this f****** club too!!!!!!! :thumbsu:
